Yet I can sit through hours of John Coltrane squealing on his sax; it's all subjective, and there's no accounting for taste!<BR/><BR/>Obviously, I worry about my country too. I just haven't given-up on our electoral process, our Constitution, and the persuasive power of free speech... yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18243814.post-1143570776346465052006-03-28T10:32:00.000-08:002006-03-28T10:32:00.000-08:00Well, here in the Infadel Nation, prejudice is nev...Well, here in the Infadel Nation, prejudice is never fine, and is something we do battle with every day, in others and in ourselves. But I fear that this discussion isn't going to get either of us anywhere; you clearly hate me for things other than my poor taste in music (like having the bad judgement to be born in a country founded by murderous, slave mongering hicks), and nothing I say is likely to change your mind. Even if I were to point out that the Pixies were born here too. So was rock, jazz, and the blues. And, for better or worse, country. To each his own. Put on your headphones and turn the Pixies up loud, Retardo; it's a free country!

I wasn't comparing the Dixie Chicks to anyone (although if you consider record sales, which I'm sure you don't, I suspect they fall somewhere in between the Beatles and the over-rated Pixies). Funny seeing you call someone else "prejudiced", though; thanks for the laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18243814.post-1143486521984571072006-03-27T11:08:00.000-08:002006-03-27T11:08:00.000-08:00"A gabble of soil-munching hicks"?! Yow! Listen-..."A gabble of soil-munching hicks"?! Yow! Listen-up, Retardo; the Dixie Chicks are extremely talented musicians, and among the only artists in their notoriously-conservative genre to actively oppose the our misadventures in Iraq. And I, for one, enthusiastically endorse naked chicks, be they hick or hip, rich or poor, on the cover of corporate magazines or wherever else they might pop-up.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to get so excited, but I can't stand to see 2 of my favorite subjects bagged-on; music and naked chicks. Throw-in alcohol, and Retardo would have hit the trifecta.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18243814.post-1143473208884857202006-03-27T07:26:00.000-08:002006-03-27T07:26:00.000-08:00Sorry the SDH clip above turned out to be only abo...Sorry the SDH clip above turned out to be only about 15 seconds of the song, which doesn't do it justice.seenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830315020073256903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18243814.post-1143472936035774512006-03-27T07:22:00.000-08:002006-03-27T07:22:00.000-08:00Green Day's "American Idiot" is my current favorit...Green Day's "American Idiot" is my current favorite protest song that most people would recognize in a poll.<BR/><BR/>My all time favorite, however, is "<A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/clipserve/B000023VS4001012/0/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_012/102-3165762-1804146" REL="nofollow">Dark Heart</A>" by Sister Double Happinessseenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830315020073256903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18243814.post-1143342061793227002006-03-25T19:01:00.000-08:002006-03-25T19:01:00.000-08:00Sisyphus Shrugged, Body and Soul, and Suburban Gue...Sisyphus Shrugged, Body and Soul, and Suburban Guerilla posted some pretty good anti-war songs in the last couple of days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18243814.post-1143316565343781052006-03-25T11:56:00.000-08:002006-03-25T11:56:00.000-08:00That is just stupid.I'm not saying that the Chicks...That is just stupid.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying that the Chicks should run for President I'm just saying that they should have the right to speak their minds - in a free country like ours without receiving death threats for doing so.<BR/><BR/>So while you have the right to listen to Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" on endless loop - I'll be listening to something a little more thoughful.<BR/><BR/>By the way is your name based on Toby Keith's new single - Retardo.left-overhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090065395667863082noreply@blogger.com
